Fungoplex Soap
Antifungal, antiseptic and disinfectant.
Fungoplex Soap combines the broad-spectrum antifungal action of clotrimazole, with the antiseptic and disinfecting action of chloroxylenol. Both components rest on a base of vitamins and excipients, which help to regenerate, soften and beautify the skin.

Mechanism of action
Clotrimazole works by altering the fungal membrane by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis by interacting with 14-alpha-methylase, a cytochrome P450 enzyme that is necessary to transform lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. Chloroxylenol is a powerful and penetrating disinfectant with germicidal and antiseptic properties that, due to its high partition coefficient, easily penetrates through the cell membranes of bacteria and denatures protoplasmic proteins, which precipitate.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion
After topical application to the skin or vaginally, plasma concentrations of clotrimazole are minimal. Vaginally, 5-10% of the dose is absorbed, but plasma concentrations are very small. Because clotrimazole binds to the oral and vaginal mucosa, significant concentrations of the drug are detected up to 3 days after its application. The small amounts that are absorbed are metabolized in the liver and excreted in the bile. Chloroxylenol is biotransformed, by complex processes of oxidation and hepatic conjugation. It is eliminated by urine.
